Re: [R] genotypes simulation

thank you. i will take a look claire, Neil Shephard wrote: Claire_6700 wrote: Hello, I am having really hard time finding a good article about simulating genotypes of cases and controls at a disease locus using R. if you guys can point me or guide me where i can find more information, it will be helpful.
